In addition, flood plain <br /> regulations are required in areas where information such as flood maps, high <br /> water marks, or detailed soil maps is available to delineate the flood plains. <br /> The regulations adopted by a county are subject to review by the Division of <br /> Resource Development. <br /> We have provided shoreland and flood plain management guidelines, against <br /> which ordinances and regulations will be measured. We will also expect the <br /> regulations and ordinances to conform with existing regional plans and programs. <br /> Drafts of ordinances and maps will be accepted for review, contingent upon <br /> assurance that any subsequent revision by the county will be brought specifically <br /> to the attention of the Division. <br /> To aid counties in preparing flood plain regulations , it is requested that <br /> each county submit to the Division of Resource Development a list of streams <br /> within their boundaries for which technical engineering data is not available <br /> to meet state flood plain management criteria. Please list the streams, in <br /> order of the degree of flood damage potential, and describe the type of infor- <br /> mation (i.e. , soil maps, high water marks, etc.) that is currently available. <br /> By January 29, 1968, we need to have from you either copies of the ordin- <br /> ances, regulations, and maps or a formal statement as to the plans of your <br /> county with respect to submission of flood plain and shoreland zoning ordinances <br /> and of sanitary and subdivision regulations. <br /> We will act on these communications as rapidly as possible. <br /> If we can be of assistance, please let us know. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Freeman H.olmer <br /> Administrator <br /> FH:tlm <br /> cc: Fred Evert, Charles Kozel <br /> Leland Newman <br />
